Reductive Amination
This compound can undergo reductive amination reactions when treated with borohydride and borane reducing agents. This process is a key step in forming new carbon-nitrogen bonds.
N- and O-Arylation
It participates in copper-catalyzed N- and O-arylation reactions with aryl iodides. This transformation is crucial for synthesising complex aromatic amine and ether derivatives.
N-(alkyl)arylamine Synthesis
Utilised in selective room-temperature carbon-nitrogen coupling reactions, often catalysed by copper iodide and employing a diketone ligand, for the preparation of N-(alkyl)arylamine derivatives.
